In the News (Fri 18 Aug 17)

The purpose of this list is not similar to that of the Mathematics Subject Classification formulated by the American Mathematical Society.

This list has some items that would not fit in such a classification, such as list of exponential topics and list of factorial and binomial topics, which may surprise the reader with the diversity of their coverage.

The publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science and theoretical physics).

The Strähle construction is used in the design of some musical instruments.

I feel Curve was never given there chance and they always seem on the verge of making it in the states but just seem to never get a good foot hold.

Curve can only be described as a Kung Fu fighter going for the jugular and ripping it out and showing it to you before you die.

Curve always wore thier influences well, part of the 'shoegazing' sound alongside bands like 'My Bloody Valentine' and 'Slowdive', part of the etheric tone of 'Cocteau Twins', and full of the discovery that was electronic music in the 90's.

This is followed by a detailed study of elliptic curves with complex multiplication, their associated Grössencharacters and L-series, and applications to the construction of abelian extensions of quadratic imaginary fields.

Asking the question of how to construct an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by a particular R(K) leads him to studying the ideal class group of R(K), and this group is shown to act transitively on ELL(R(K)).

The author also shows that every elliptic curve with complex multiplication is defined over an algebraic extension of Q. Several interesting examples of ellipti curves with complex multiplication are given.

Organized into the topics of sets and relations, infinity and induction, sequences of numbers, topology, continuity and differentiation, the integral (Riemann and Lebesgue), sequences of functions, and metric spaces.

The primary aim of the module is to provide an introduction to several basic topics in algebra and calculus with a view (along with other linked modules) to giving a sound foundation in mathematical methods.

A detailed list of course topics can be found in the course syllabus.

The course will be concerned with material that appears to fall within the realm of specific topics in engineering, our emphasis will be on introducing the art of problem solving using various computer tools to solve engineering problems, and the skills necessary to research and present a technical research paper.

Conic sections are important in astronomy: the orbits of two massive objects that interact according to Newton's law of universal gravitation are conic sections if their common center of mass is considered to be at rest.

Students step through the generation of a different Hilbert-like Curve (a fractal made from deforming a line by bending it), allowing them to explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

Similar to the original "Function Machine" but lists input and output in a table and will not let the user attempt to guess the rule on without at least having two data points.

Numerical solutions to differential equations require the determination not of a few numbers but of an entire function; in particular, convergence must be judged by some global criterion.

The Center for Applied Probability was formed in the Spring of 1995 and is being run by a group of faculty members in the School of Mathematics and the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) at Georgia Tech.

A method for producing Sine Curve fits to data points. It includes a detailed description of the least squares method of curve fitting, and introduces Newton's method of solving non-linear equations, demonstrating the use of this method for the solution...more>>

Unlike the last time the yield curve inverted in 2000 -- signaling the beginning of the post-bubble economic downturn -- this time around, market strategists are taking a glass-half-full stance on the prospects for the economy.

The yield curve refers to the slope of rates in the Treasury bond market, and an inverted yield curve traditionally signals a slowing economy or a recession.

In the past, whenever the yield curve inverted and a recession followed, both short-term rates and long-term rates were on the rise.

Future Judiciary Committee hearings will follow on the Senates role in the judicial process, the burdens the nominees face in defending their records in confirmation proceedings, and the significance of recent Supreme Court federalism decisions.

For this June edition of HOT TOPICS, we present a bit more of this debate on conservative judicial activism.

Her brand-new LEARNING CURVE, however, is as heavy on dreamy art-pop as it is on the bass -- pop-tronica cuts like "Bad Girl" and "Good to Be Alive," or the guitar-driven "Go," have more in common with Garbage than with Goldie.

For her major-label debut, DJ Rap chose a surprising angle, given her long history as an excellent drum'n'bass DJ and producer.

Learning Curve is a crossover album so complete there's hardly any traces of drum'n'bass left.
